The US’ center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reclassified Morocco as a “high risk” country on level 3, after it was classified in the very high risk level 4 list, according to CDC’s website.
“All travelers may be at risk for getting or spreading COVID-19 variants,” said the CDC on its website.
Despite the change, recommendations of traveling to and from the Kingdom have seen little change.
The American authorities don’t ask vaccinated travelers to get tested before their departure. On the other hand, unvaccinated people must be tested before departure and return from the US, and undergo a 7-10 day quarantine upon arrival.
The CDC recommends to passengers who want to travel to Morocco to make sure their vaccinations are up to date, and for those who are not vaccinated to avoid non-essential travel to countries placed on level 3 or 4.
It urges as well travelers to keep on respecting precautionary measures such as wearing masks and social distancing, recalling that the COVID-19 pandemic in Morocco remains risky even for vaccinated travelers.
U.S. citizens are also required to have a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 3 days before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past 3 months before they board a flight to the United States.
Last August, the CDC was classifying Morocco at very high risk, on level 4, following the high increase in cases in the country.
